StringRegExpReplace and StringReplace for ThunderbirdPortable

[Hyflex]

Hey,

I used a Portable ThunderBird setup about a year ago, set it up with a bunch of pre-configured settings including logins for several accounts and made myself a little tool to re-configure based on what computer it is on.

The code I originally had I can't work out how/what it was doing what it was doing...

 

$SZFILE = @ScriptDir & "\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\settings\ThunderbirdPortableSettings.ini"
$SZTEXT = FileRead($SZFILE, FileGetSize($SZFILE))
$SZTEXT = StringReplace($SZTEXT, "C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\DEFAULT FOLDER\", @ScriptDir & "\", 0, 1)
FileDelete($SZFILE)
FileWrite($SZFILE, $SZTEXT)
 
$SZFILE = @ScriptDir & "\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\compatibility.ini"
$SZTEXT = FileRead($SZFILE, FileGetSize($SZFILE))
$SZTEXT = StringReplace($SZTEXT, "C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\DEFAULT FOLDER\", @ScriptDir & "\", 0, 1)
FileDelete($SZFILE)
FileWrite($SZFILE, $SZTEXT)
 
$SZFILE = @ScriptDir & "\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\extensions.ini"
$SZTEXT = FileRead($SZFILE, FileGetSize($SZFILE))
$SZTEXT = StringReplace($SZTEXT, "C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\DEFAULT FOLDER\", @ScriptDir & "\", 0, 1)
FileDelete($SZFILE)
FileWrite($SZFILE, $SZTEXT)
 
$SZFILE = @ScriptDir & "\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\prefs.js"
$SZTEXT = FileRead($SZFILE, FileGetSize($SZFILE))
$SZTEXT1 = StringRegExpReplace(@ScriptDir & "\", "\\", "\\\\")
$SZTEXT = StringReplace($SZTEXT, "C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Downloads\\DEFAULT FOLDER\\", $SZTEXT1, 0, 1)
FileDelete($SZFILE)
FileWrite($SZFILE, $SZTEXT)
 
$SZFILE = @ScriptDir & "\ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\prefs.js"
$SZTEXT = FileRead($SZFILE, FileGetSize($SZFILE))
$SZTEXT1 = StringRegExpReplace(@ScriptDir & "\", "\\", "\\\\\\\\")
$SZTEXT = StringReplace($SZTEXT, "C:\\\\Users\\\\USERNAME\\\\Downloads\\\\DEFAULT FOLDER\\\\", $SZTEXT1, 0, 1)
FileDelete($SZFILE)
FileWrite($SZFILE, $SZTEXT)

I just found out that I missed a bunch of files that need to have some changes made...

File: \ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\panacea.dat
Change: C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Downloads\\DEFAULT FOLDER\\

File: \ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\search.json
Change: C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Downloads\\DEFAULT FOLDER\\

File: \ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\secmod.db
Change: C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\DOWNLO~1\\

File: \ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\startupCache\startupCache.4.little
Change: C:/Users/USERNAME/Downloads/DEFAULT%20FOLDERl/

File: \ThunderbirdPortable\Data\profile\pluginreg.dat
Change: C:\Users\Anon\AppData\Roaming\ 
It needs to be updated to the new AppData folder

Basically I installed thunderbird to the current folder:

C:UsersUSERNAMEDownloadsDEFAULT FOLDER

It needs to be changed the scriptdir's folder with the appropriate formatting (startupcache.4.little for example has %20 for the space and some locations have a single slash, some have two, some three and some four...

Any ideas how I am supposed to fix the changes above?

Hey Hyflex,

If you can't find out what your script was doing, I suggest you start a new one to do what you want to do!
